If your music became illegal...

[chod]

I dont know why but i wondered that if the type of music you like (whatever it is) became illegal would you still listen to it? I know i would because it kind of makes it more fun if its underground...just wondering

 

[LondonsBurning]

I would say yes, because frankly punk and metal is all about rebellion to beginwith.

 

[Carmack]

How could they find out if you had illegal music? (assuming you don't file share)

 

[Idicious]

I thank god that I don't live in a dictatorship cause that's what that would be and what kind of situation it would be, tyrany.

 

[TheDandyMan]

I would keep on listening to it, since there would be no logical arument upon which they could arrest me for.

Not meaning to derail, but if it was ruled illegal, they could use that simple logic to arrest you. Not to mention if they made it illegal they would obviously have had to use some kind of logic (albeit flawed) to make it so. So in essence, they could do whatever they wanted. They who have the power make the rules. That doesn't give any good reason to follow along with it (aside from the threat of being arrested), but there would be legal grounds to arresting you.

Anyway, I would keep on listening to it also.

Okay. You win.

Maybe I should make my opinion clear that the whole thing is ridiculous.

If your music became illegal...

Then I might very well listen to it publicly in protest.

 

[Roo6339]

i'd still listen to it for sure...

 

[droolbot]

i'd still listen.

 

[antiarte]

Anyone here has heard The Grey Album by DJ Dangermouse? He mashed-up The Beatles' White Album with The Black Album by Jay-Z. And DJ Cheap Cologne made The Double Black Album. Yes, he mashed-up Metallica's and Jay-Z. They're illegal, but you can find 'em in any file sharing program.

 

[Macewindu77815]

I'd still listen to it....

 

[NINGirl]

I'd stop, go to the nearest record store and purchase a Britney Spears Greatest Hits album. Because that's the point of making my music illegal, right? To promote more sales to artists who already are swimming in cash?


So basically, no, I wouldn't stop listening to it.

 

[TheHumanGenomeProject]

LMAO @ The OP- "More fun because it's underground" ...

 

[Rivard]

Yes. God aks us to follow rules.

Unless they'd make christian song illegal, I'd still listen to that.

 

[Le Fantome]

Oh yes, I would still listen to it.

 

[WhenFinallySetFree777]

Me give up my music for a man-made law? Heh heh, yeah right.

 

[stonetoflesh]

If such an absurd scenario were to play out, I'd keep listening to whatever illegal music I chose. If the music police found out and tried to stop me they'd have to fight their way past my genetically-modified and cybernetically enhanced army of rat men, ferocious fire-breathing komodo dragons and my elite personal guard of cute, poisonous, singing-and-dancing garden gnomes...
